How safe is Vilnius?

Vilnius is very safe city, but there are some alchohol and drug addicts that you might wanna ignore. Also neighborhoods like Naujininkai or Šeškinė are not super safe, but all other areas are truly save and not to worry about.

Generally Its safe, even at night just try staying away and not engage in conversation with weird looking and drunk man. Usually Šnipiškės can be a little unsafe, but mostly at night. :))))))))))))))))

It is definitely a safe city, this I am comfortable in stating. However, it is full of different people, thus you still have to stay careful and mindful while enjoying Vilnius's night life, or just being out and about at nighttime.

It’s small but really safe city, you can walk alone and be sure about no one gonna harass you. I have been living there like 1 year and I have never seen any criminal situation. It’s true that people are cold but it doesn’t mean that they are bad people)

I would say it is very safe, interactions with drunk or unpleasant people are minimal, most places are in sight of light in city centre, in sleeping neighbourhood not everywhere, but it doesn’t scare me as people mind their own businesses… Here I feel much more safer than in other european countries

Vilnius is a very safe city. I have lived here for 4 years and have not been attacked, robbed or harassed. It is safe to walk at night, and go out. Just avoid the train station and the general area around it.

Is Vilnius worth visiting?

Travel rating

4.4 /5

based on 15 experiences from female travelers

Solo travel

I found Vilnius really safe, people really mind their own business and men are respectful. I even went on my own for food and a drink to a local pub, there was a group of men seated at the same table and they let me be. I loved the history of Vilnius, visiting the museums, going to the Opera, the prison, a fascinating place!

Family travel

Vilnius is extremely safe, quiet city. Transportation is very comfortable and it is easy to get from one point to another. In 2 days, it is possible to complete the city tour. First day: the Church of St. Peter and Paul, Monument of Three Crosses, Gediminas Castle Tower and the second day Old Town and the churches, streets, squares in Old Town can be explored. Pilies Street, the Orthodox Church of Holy Spirit are must-see locations.
